The Clippers are running it back in 2016-’17 as the team has resigned Austin Rivers, Wes Johnson, and now Jamal Crawford. The 36-year-old shooting guard agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract was this past season’s Sixth Man of the Year and averaged 14.2 points per game.
A report from USA TODAY‘s Sam Amick says that Crawford was unhappy with LA’s initial offer, but the Clips ante’d up.
As @ramonashelburne noted, Clippers made an offer to Jamal Crawford. But from what I'm told, that offer will very likely lead to him leaving

Jamal Crawford is staying with the Clippers, I'm told. Three years, $42 million.

First offer for Jamal Crawford from Clippers: one year, $12 million. He was hot. Other Clippers were, too. Final deal: 3 for 42 (w/ partial)
